In Northern Arizona, especially in higher elevations such as the Flagstaff area, you can experience stunning fall colors from aspens, oaks, cottonwoods and other trees.  Oak trees are not as numerous or well-known for their fall colors as aspen trees. However, the oak leaves sometimes turn shades of deep red or maroon during the fall, adding some variety to the landscape.  These oak trees were photographed from the Arizona Trail on McMillan Mesa in Flagstaff, Arizona, USA.

Grasslands occupy one-third of Arizona, taking up some 24 million acres.  They provide a unique habitat for wildlife and are part of a large and diverse network of grasslands found throughout the southwestern U.S. and northern Mexico. Semi-desert grasslands found in central and southeastern Arizona reach into Sonora, Mexico and New Mexico. Grasslands in Northern Arizona are similar to those found in the Great Basin and the Colorado Plateau in Colorado, Utah and New Mexico. In the mountainous areas of Northern Arizona, grassland meadows can be found interspersed within the conifer forests.  Hart Prairie is a vast grassland located on the northwest side of the San Francisco Peaks.  At 12,637 feet above sea level, Humphrey's Peak dominates the landscape above the prairie.  Hart Prairie is in the Coconino National Forest near Flagstaff, Arizona, USA.

Campbell Mesa is one of many wooded mesas in the Coconino National Forest of Northern Arizona.  On the west side of the mesa are stands of Ponderosa Pine interspersed with oak groves, grassy meadows and wildflowers.  On the east side the pine forest gives way to junipers and other scrub vegetation.  Campbell Mesa was named after Hugh E. Campbell, a prosperous local sheep rancher from Nova Scotia, Canada.  He was born on June 10, 1862 and came to Arizona in the early 1890's.  As a strong Democrat, he took a serious interest in civic affairs and was elected to the Arizona Senate and supported the prosperity and welfare of his community.  Campbell Mesa is now a popular destination for mountain biking, equestrian use and hiking.  This view of a snow covered grassy meadow turning to a golden hue was photographed on Campbell Mesa in the Coconino National Forest near Flagstaff, Arizona, USA.
